Songs We're Excited to Hear at Movin' On 2025

“Gives You Hell” - The All-American Rejects

The All-American Rejects have given the world several iconic pop punk bangers. Perhaps their most memorable is “Gives You Hell,” the lead single of their third album.

The song is dripping with sarcasm and spite as the narrator details how wonderful their life has been since their ex-lover wronged them. They proceed to gleefully narrate how that is not the case for their ex.

It’s delightfully ruthless and an anthem for people who enjoy being petty. For those unfamiliar with the song, think of it as the pop-punk predecessor to “My Kink is Karma” by Chappell Roan.

It’s also the perfect song to be played in front of a crowd, as there’s a section during the bridge in which an ensemble of voices come together to chant the chorus, a role that passionate Penn State students could easily take on.

The song is a timeless crowd pleaser and would certainly be a memorable way to end the night.

“Move Along” - The All-American Rejects

It would only make sense for The All-American Rejects to play “Move Along” at Movin’ On.

This uplifting title track from their second album carries the message of working through tough times by just moving along.

In the chorus, they sing, “And even when your hope is gone/ Move along, move along just to make it through.” The message is easily applicable to Penn State students who have been working hard all year.

It’s the perfect song to send off the graduating seniors who will be attending the event and may be feeling unsure or nervous about their future. It’s an anthem of perseverance that might be just what they need to hear.

Message aside, the song on its own is incredibly catchy. It’s one of their biggest hits for a reason. The repetitive chorus is easy to sing along to and will get the crowd hyped up for sure. - Megan Schmotzer
